    Things that have been happening to me too often lately

My posts don't matter at all, IP addresses obviously unambiguously identify every person on this planet. > * I'm supposed to confirm that I'm not a robot because I use a VPN. The fact that the company asking for these confirmations (usually Google) is itself sending robots marauding through the internet doesn't matter, because Google is Google and I'm just a bloke with a VPN. > > Guys, a VPN is self-defence. A website banning VPNs is like a brothel banning condoms. I mean, of course the house rules apply, but I'd like to see a bit more judgement. What's happening right now is ridiculous and hardly does justice to the security aspect of these "tests". If you find yourself as a contributor to this list, I urge you to stop. I am not a bad guy. All I do is use a VPN. > > Thank you.

    Guys, a VPN is self-defence. A website banning VPNs is like a brothel banning condoms. I mean, of course the house rules apply, but I'd like to see a bit more judgement.

    www.psypost.org Extreme metal guitar skills linked to intrasexual competition, but not mating success

    New research reveals that guitar skills in extreme metal music are more linked to male competition and status than to attracting mates. The study, focusing on heterosexual male guitarists, suggests that technical proficiency in guitar playing serves more as a display of dominance among peers.
